NOTE: This chapter is now written in 1st POV.HER FATEWHAT IS GOING on? My eyes squinted. My head then began to spin as I attempted to remember what had occurred. My vision became hazy at that point. I attempted to think again while stroking my temple. Different scenarios soon began to flash through my mind.The war, Lucien, and Luther.A sharp gasp escaped my mouth when the realization finally struck me. I was shot! An arrow hit me! With my trembling hands, I slowly touched my stomach. I then lifted my hands and I sobbed in fear when I realized that my hands are stained with my own blood. I tried to rose from the floor. I don't even know where I am. I wander my eyes around the place and realized that I am with no one. Still, I tried calling for help. "Lucien? Where are you? H-Help... our baby..." I cried while clutching my stomach. "Help! Anyone? Please!" I begged once more. I moved forward in the hope of getting help from this strange place. But I can't help but noticed that e
WITH A BROKEN heart, I nodded to Lucien, and then I heard the enchantress instructing Lucien to take me to the second floor."Place her on the circle," Enchantress Elphina told him. When I finally felt the coldness of the floor, Enchantress Elphina rushed over to me and took my hand in hers."I'm calling the High Priestess now, Ysobella, and I want you to open your heart and listen carefully; you have to want this and accept your child's fate for this to work."I responded with a nod and tried to think about our baby's future. I believe that even if our baby is separated from us, he or she will have a better life. And I am confident that our child will live a loving and compassionate life."Open your eyes, my dear Luna," a warm and sweet voice said, bringing me out of my reverie.My eyes widened in shock to see the High Priestess of Preousia in front of me. The High Priestess is truly stunning. No words can describe her ethereal beauty. Her hair is as bright as the moon, and it reac
DREAMINGLUCIEN TOLD ME what happened a year ago. It turns out that I lost consciousness before the ritual began. They were also forewarned by the High Priestess, Thalia, that it might take longer for me to awaken. She claimed that I alone will determine when to wake up from my deep sleep.Lucien planted a chaste kiss on my lips before carrying me to bed. "I will call the enchantress and the others," he said which made me surprised. I thought Enchantress Elphina already left. But Is she always here?Lucien noticed how puzzled I am so he spoke. "I asked her to stay and keep an eye on you from time to time because our healers do not have much knowledge about the High Priestess' enchantment," Lucien explained. "Wait here, sweetheart; I'll go get the others," he then said before leaving.I heard the sound of the door closing. While waiting for them, my thoughts wandered to our baby. I was right when I chose the name for her. It suits her perfectly. "Luna Ysobella! I'm glad that you're
I SOBBED EVEN harder when I heard Lucien cry as well. We're both in pain but now that I am finally here, I promise to heal with him. I stayed in his arms, feeling his warmth until moments later, I broke the hug. "Are you hungry?" I asked because we didn't have a chance to eat the food he brought earlier. "Let's call someone to prepare us food. Let's eat together," I told him. "It's fine, sweetheart. I already asked someone to cook us food." "Do you always eat here?" I can't help asking. "Yes, every day. I want to be with you, always," he admitted. I can't help my sadness. He was always looking after me and now he forgot to take care of himself. "Let's both make it up to each other, sweetheart. Forget about your guilt." A moment later, the servants came with our food. After eating, Lucien brought me to his mini garden. "Sweetheart... can you tell me what she looks like?" he asked while combing my hair. A small smile escaped my lips. "Hmmm, it's actually hard to tell si
VISIONSADRIENNE IS THE only surviving descendant of Ada the Oracle. According to her, after the Blood War, her mother, Ada, fled to save their lives. She stated that her mother was pregnant during that time.Ada had no idea the war was coming, but she had a feeling that death was on its way. Instead of being terrified for herself and her baby, she stayed in Vinfort, hoping to see something that could save people's lives, but she didn't see anything.Adrienne also mentioned that her mother often blames herself. That if only she had kept to herself her vision of the future, the other leaders wouldn't have felt envy and dark desires.The Oracle tried so hard to see what the other leader's future holds but she saw nothing and that enraged the former leaders. It triggered their lust for power, greed, and envy. "Where's your mother now?" Lucien asked. "The prince has her. His men caught her after years of running and hiding," Adrienne uttered with despair. "Why aren't you with her?" Rav
"FORGIVE ME, LUCIEN," Markus apologizes. He appears guilty for his own words. "No brother," Nereza interferes. "Markus might be right. If Lucianna's mate has nothing to do with the royal family, then why is Luther doing this to you? What good will it bring them?"Is this really my daughter's fate? Why does it look so tough? Isn't being taken away from us enough? When I look at Lucien he seems to be in deep thought."But we aren't yet certain that your daughter is mated with the prince's descendant. Also, I don't think that the prince has vile plans for your daughter. My mother believes that it might be the best way to put everything back in its proper place. And she told me to trust her and let fate take its course," said Adrienne. "It doesn't matter right now. But I will never allow that family to use our daughter in their evil plan." Lucien then rose from his seat. "Markus, gather as many Scouts as you can and pay any human who is willing to retrieve us Orbis," he ordered.I have
HIS PAINTINGWE STAYED IN the library for a while until Markus came to fetch Nereza. As for Clarrise, she went to visit Ayla in the quarters. I wished to go with her but Markus informed me that Lucien is waiting for me in the art room. The moment my foot stepped inside the familiar room, different memories from the past flashed before me. My eyes suddenly turned misty. I remember very well the first time I set foot in this room. The feelings and emotions I felt when I saw Lucien. Well, it never really changed the way he made me feel, it actually got stronger. But who would have thought that we are destined? "Hey..."I blink twice when I heard Lucien's voice against my right ear. He breathed deeply, inhaling my scent. My eyes then darted to the painting on the easel. My eyes are once again filled with mists as my heart is filled with warmth. The painting is yet to finish but I know it is me. Slowly, I lifted my hand to touch the canvas with utmost gentleness. And as I did so, the
THE SOUND OF us kissing reminds me of how I drowned myself in euphoria. The heat is enough for me to lose my sanity. Lucien let out a manly moan as he kiss and licks the part of my skin where he placed his mark. "Ahh..." A moan of bliss escaped my mouth when his lips found my breasts, kissing them alternately. I didn't even notice that I'm already naked. Lucien's other hand is sensually caressing my waist and I flinched when I felt his fingers playing with the nub between my thighs. "Ahh, L-Lucien..." I moaned when his fingers started thrusting in and out. "Ohh m-my... Lucien p-please..." I shamelessly begged once more.I am lost. My head is clouded with lust and I want more. I grabbed his neck and kissed him fully on his lips while gently stroking his hard member. "D*MN!" He groaned like he just lost the last thread of his patience. With haste, he held my waist and swiftly flipped me. Now my back is facing him. He kissed my bare back, relishing every second. His lips move as
